However, she has ignored the backlash and shared a sweet clip online, set to Birdy's hit song Keeping Your Head up - although it's not clear who filmed the video of Steph smiling as she woke up on the sofa.

The former Hollyoaks star also told her followers how excited she is to give birth and meet her son for the first time.

"Can't wait for my baby boy just to be here," she tweeted. "Can't wait, counting down the days... love being pregnant but just want to see him and love him"

It comes after Stephanie admitted she has spoken to her management about the possibility of stripping off for a naked cover shoot, although she insisted it would only be for "the right platform".

Writing in her OK! magazine blog, she said: "I think it would be something fun to do, to embrace the changes in my body and the curves, and being pregnant and being proud of it.

"I like the idea of showing off the fact I'm a strong, sexy mum to be. My boobs are so big now, I'd actually be more willing to do it because I've never had them and now I've got a pair I've aways wanted.

"They're only going to stay with me while I'm pregnant, so I'd love to capture the moment while they're real and massive!"
